<p>I don’t see how answering such random questions reflections intelligence at all. Saying this from the perspective of someone who during doctoral studies in psychology learned how to assess intelligence. I’m also recruited employees for a Fortune 500 company, and have been an alum interviewer for Harvard.</p>
<p>All that answering those kind of off the wall questions will demonstrate is how a person may react in a situation that doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>If someone asked me that poisoning question, I’d laugh and probably blurt out, “Are you looking for a hit man?” I suppose my answer reflects my tact and sense of humor, but I don’t see how my answer would help anyone determine my suitability for admission to a college.</p>
